I am not clear from what you wrote as to exactly what the problem is you want to tackle. Is the person who has made the accusation still off sick? Are they returning soon? What would you like to have happen? Send some more info and I'll respond as best I can. Regards Barry. Hi Florence,

Some employers seem to want to avoid talking about bullying in their organisations, perhaps because they fear that if they do, it will give permission to people to raise all sorts of complaints the organisation cannot then cope with. I believe the opposite is true; when staff and managers are given clear information, via training for example, spurious complaints decrease and the genuine ones are identified.

There is little that can undermine the anti-bullying movement more effectively than someone making a lot of noise about having been bullied, when really they were not, or worse still, they were the "bully" themselves.
